Aug.29.2011 And the Beat Goes On Thanks to a short story, I just had something hand-delivered from Norway to Ottawa. I’m still boggled. When I wrote "Heart" I was absolutely hoping it would succeed and I'd get to see it in print someday. You're probably not supposed to admit something like that – I think my line is “I wrote it as...	Feb.02.2011 "Dear Mrs. Lee . . ." Oh man. I love mail, don't you? (That last statement doesn't include junk mail or bills.) When I first became an author seven years ago, I started to get fan mail.

Feb.27.2009 Who Should Be In the Next Book? I don't think there's anything more wonderful, and more helpful in pushing me to write further (unless it's a deadline to get another book done!), than fan mail. I've been receiving a lot of mail about which characters readers want to see more of. I think that's when it really makes me feel like an...
Oct.24.2008 FAN MAIL Alrighty then, this morning I received my first piece of fan e-mail...in response to my previous blog "All power to the 6-legged, footless, mutant chickens..." At least, I THINK it's fan mail. Well, it MUST be, because this person used some of my all-time favorite superlatives: "...
